What platform are you using when you see this problem? Is it a unix-based platform ("headless" by any chance)?

Hi! I have an issue (de)serializing instances of java.awt.Color. I have a working solution: I Added a java.awt packages in my own source code and added a .betwixt file there: <?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' ?> <info primitiveTypes='attribute'> <element name="color"> <attribute name='className' value='java.awt.Color'/> <hide property="colorSpace"/> <addDefaults/> </element> </info> Then I implemented ChainedBeanCreator and got the RGB values from the attribute: mapping.getAttributes().getValue("red"), and return a new Color instance. It works fine, but when used in Tomcat and in an application built on Netbeans Platform the betwixt file is not found. I think it's a classloading issue. Tomcat and Netbeans won't let me load things from the java.awt package inside my jar file. The result is that the RGB values end up as elements instead of attributes, and my ChainedBeanCreator fails. So, I need to rework the ChainedBeanCreator to work with elements, and I can't figure it out. Here is the resulting XML (without the betwixt file in action): <color id="1285042238"> <RGB><![CDATA[-65536]]></RGB> <alpha><![CDATA[255]]></alpha> <blue><![CDATA[0]]></blue> <green><![CDATA[0]]></green> <red><![CDATA[255]]></red> .... </color> Anyone have an example on how to work with elements in a ChainedBeanCreator? I guess other people need to deal with java.awt.Color properties? /Markus --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
